I've turned down projects based on raunchiness before.

I've turned down players based on their Twitter handles. I've turned down players based on Twitter pictures.

I don't choose my projects based on genre, I choose them based on the role and whether or not I've tackled that yet, based on the director and such.
We've turned down multi million dollar films, simply because we liked the film better. We have the luxury to do so - we have projects that make the money, and others that we do for love.

I know, it's weird that I've never done a musical. I turned down two of them. 'The Lion King' and 'The Producers.' I turned two of the biggest Broadway musicals down, am I a mess?
I turned down the first script offered to me, and the second. I lay on my back one day under an umbrella, in the garden, reading the third, and wondered why I had turned down the first.
I was going to be a writer, and that turned into journalist. And then that turned into a career in children's literature, which turned into early childhood education, which turned into psychology, which turned into premed, which turned into nursing school, which turned into communication, which turned into marketing and advertising.
I've worked at a Game Stop and had my service turned down before because of the color of my skin. And it's a shame.
